Abstract

This research shows both the ways in which, and the extent to which, the media are an integral part of the lives of young people in the age range 6 to 17. The aims of this report are to analyse the use of the new media at home and to examine the meaning of the changing media environment. It also maps the relationship between the use of media and social inequalities.
